Kundalini considered as Ridley Scott/Giger's Alien

Strange the things you think of in the morning. B and I were looking forward to meeting some folk from the Tarot Association of Great Britain this weekend, to paw over each other's favourite decks and shoot the breeze, when I awoke this morning thinking; "Hey, the film 'Alien' is a veiled mystical teaching film on the Kundalini energy". I was thinking of the 'coiled serpent force' of the Alien creature in it's egg, and the way it bursts forth, irrespective of it's host. There ensued some weird and bizarre musings this morning. Don't search, like I did, for Alien+Kundalini on Google, otherwise you'll have to wade through some rather way-out-there stuff about lizard-like alien races, the Giza Death-Star, and worse.

On the Tarot subject, it's the Gilded Tarot that is now next on my shopping list, and B quite liked the look of the Ananda deck. The artist for the Gilded Deck has a beautifully designed site.

When the nice people from TABI arrived, we went to castlerigg stone circle, and as we approached, saw a number of figures earnestly holding their hands against the stones, deep in communion. A little tired of this sort of sight at Castlerigg, I muttered "Oh damn, someone's stuck superglue all over the stones again." The vision ahead of us now looked *entirely* more humorous!
